Once again, as the dark evenings invade, it is time to talk sparkly white lights!We politely request WHITE LIGHTS (LED) only please. On masse, the visual impact is stunning. Coloured lights can all too easily become the spectacle. Use white lights to pick out the features of your property, make your business and its contents the visual feature of your display.
Try the website lights4fun.co.uk for purchasing lights. Get in early, demand will outstrip supply! Call C&O Electrical for a quote to install or look up a local electrician in the yellow pages, Holt has many!
Use a time-clock so that no retailer’s lights are still blazing at breakfast time each morning, everyone will know who you are!!! Switch-on is at 6.30pm, not as soon as it gets dark! A year of hard work by your committee, the evening’s event schedule and all of Holt’s thousands of extra visitors are geared up for total darkness turning into festive light at this time.
The main stage running order is nearly set and what a fantastic fun fuelled show its going to be this year!
At 6.00pm the show will open up with Norfolk Norfolk Radio broadcasting live on air
6.10pm sees The Church and Gresham’s Senior School Choir back to their familiar slot to bring us up to the BIG SWITCH ON at 6.30pm.
NNR will count down live on air as Chris Coubrough flicks the switch and brings this years lights on. Up go the fireworks in time to music before we let the cast of the Cromer Pier Team entertain us with excerpts from their forthcoming show.
The evening will draw to a close with music from local band Third Base from 7.00pm
The Community Centre will be open from 2.30pm (until late) on the day of the Holt Christmas Lights Switch On.
Victoriana Craft and gift stalls will be both inside and outside the Community Centre, plus childrens events:
Well done to Thoughtful Expressions and Ladbrookes of Holt who have filled up their Holt Christmas Lights collection boxes and are now on their second!
This year, Holt Town Council is working with the Holt Community Centre to fund an all year round display of lights on the Centre building. Previously never lit up for Christmas, this building will now have lights to switch on for the November 25th event and also for the many events and celebrations it holds during the year.
Christmas Switch On at the Centre will include a fabulous Christmas Craft Market, lots of fun and activities for Children – featuring Razz the Clown and lantern making.
For further information, please telephone 712149.
If you or your school, club, group, society or friends would like to hold a fundraising event of your own and donate the proceeds to this year’s appeal, we would be thrilled. As the lights are switched on you can think, ‘I helped to make this happen!’
You could have a car boot or garage sale, a coffee morning, cake stall, Christmas Sale, sponsored dog walk, bike ride, swim, run, etc. Hold a car wash or window washing round. The ideas are endless…
Just come up with an idea and get arranging your event. Email our fundraiser (see Contact us) with the date and type of the event and ‘get stuck in’. An official Sponsorship Form (to assist raising funds) can be supplied.
Finally, have fun and thanks a million!
Children from Holt Primary School have been busy making Christmas labels for the boxes. They will soon be distributed around the shops.
The Holt Christmas Lights Committee would like to thank the Primary School and Lindsey Furness and family for arranging this.
